Flags in They Live - 1988

In 1988 the rise of expertly managed consumerism became a topic of heated debate.  In the movie They Live this heavy handed theme is presented in a science fiction format.  Rather it is the other, alien, perhaps ancient humanoids that have taken power in the aggressive yet peaceful means.  Instead of an us versus them mentality of the invaders from beyond, certain humans have allied with the others. 

Here is the hero, played by Roddy Piper, of the story with gun blazing.  He is doing a Reverse Terminator as the hero unleashes violence on the 'other' rather than have people suffer from the machine mind.





The US flag was placed as the background purposefully as a statement.  Its message can all depends on the observer, but one can assume this movie is making a statement about taking a stand against a corrupt system.






It looks like the flag of Peru makes a small appearance in this movie.  You can just barely see flag above the cashier's head.  It looks like the flag of Canada, but remember it was designed long before the Canadian flag.

Royal Diner King Logo - Meghan Trainor Video: Better When I'm Dancing

 
Beyond mind, beyond logic, and beyond talk is the Realm of Dance.  Anyone at anytime is welcome.

A happy heart song sung and co-wrote by Meghan Trainor, Better When I'm Dancing is a well written theme song performed in the grand slam Peanuts Movie of 2015.  The song is a sweet jasmine-like bucket of flowers, gushing with smiles and sunshine.

Of vexillological importance is the Royal Diner logo which is a stylized crown of four points with a dash underneath.  

Here is a shot of Mr. Brown doing the classic mop dance, that just happens to have a purple pennant in the background.
